Headline: Obituary

Notes:

The obituary at the top of this page obviously shows the surname misspelled. But it is correct in the article.

Also his mother was Elizabeth Goff Craigo, not Goss.

His wife is referred to as Anna in both of these obituaries, that may be the name that she was known by, but I believe her full name was Malinda Victoria Ann (Harmon) Craigo.
